La Isla De La Munecas, Mexico
In the canals
south of Mexico City there are dozens of small, uninhabited islands.
Sure, the polluted runoff from one of the world’s largest cities doesn’t
make the area that inviting to visit, but there’s actually something
even scarier going on here. Fifty years ago, a man named Don Julian
Santana lived a hermit-like life on one of the islands. His existence
was shattered when he fished the corpse of a young girl out of the
water. As some sort of totemic protection, he started hanging dolls from
the limbs of tree branches on his island.
Over
the next few decades, he continued this creepy habit until his whole
island was infested with broken, weathered dolls. It’s a truly
terrifying place – especially since spiders nest in the hollow body
parts of the toys and come scuttling out without warning.
